Although more and more people read news on the internet, newspapers will remain the most important source of news. do you agree or disagree?

#people #news #internet #newspapers #source
Many traditionalists believe that many people have
access
 to the Internet,
however
, conventional newspapers will continue as the major source of news. I totally disagree with
this
 view. The speed and convenience of the Internet in
this
 digital age have led to the increasing popularity of online news.
Firstly
, the Internet is able to provide up-to-the-minute news as it happens, 24 hours a day every day. As long as 1 have my smart phone or laptop with me, 1 can connect almost instantly to the Internet, surf the websites and
access
 the news of my choice across the globe.
Secondly
, more and more people now’ have
access
 to the Internet and
this
 trend appears set to continue. The more widespread the accessibility of the Internet, the more people will come to rely on it as their new’s source.
In contrast
, newspapers have drawbacks which affect their popularity. One major disincentive of relying on newspapers as a news source is the cost. Competing with freely available news online, newspaper publishers are facing the reality of falling circulation figures. Some major American newspapers have now’ introduced online versions alongside their printed editions in an attempt to arrest
this
 trend. Another disadvantage of newspapers is the amount of paper consumed in their production. With growing environmental awareness, there is a body of public opinion, which rejects buying newspapers because
this
 involves cutting trees and transporting them to paper mills. While
this
 may not be a major factor at present, the environmental argument will almost certainly gain ground in the future. In conclusion, I would argue that newspapers will continue to decline in importance, and more and more people will use the Internet to
access
 the news.
